WANT TO READ JUST ONE BOOK ABOUT AUTISM? READ THIS.
Written by Temple Grandin – one of the world’s most well-known autistic thinkers – The Autistic Brain is the groundbreaking, insightful and inspirational bestseller that combines scientific research with real lived experience to offer an accessible, hopeful and practical look at what autism really is.
'An extraordinary source of inspiration for autistic children, their parents - and all people' Time
It's estimated that one in almost a hundred people are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum. Thanks to ground-breaking new research, there is far more hope for them today than ever before.
In this fascinating and highly readable book, Temple Grandin offers her own experience as an autistic person alongside genetic research and remarkable new discoveries about the autistic brain.
Grandin highlights the need to treat autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis and argues that raising and educating children on the autistic spectrum needs to be less about focusing on their weaknesses, and more about fostering their unique contributions.
Her compassionate, authoritative, and accessible writing will assist not only fellow autistics and families with neurodivergent members, but also researchers and physicians seeking to better understand the condition.
Written in a clear and concise way, and with illustrative diagrams and key points pulled out for emphasis, this inspiring guide will change the perception of autism.
